Our host, Terry McDonald will provide a brief overview for our members while we enjoy a rare and valuable selection of art and artifacts documenting the life of America’s premier naturalist in Sears Harkness Hall. The exhibit contains original engravings, paintings, sketches, letters and personal items. Over 60 mounted speciments from Roberson’s Lee J. Loomis Wildlife Collection complement the exhibition.
